3 Introduction
Water in oil-paper insulated assets such as power transformers or instrument transformers is
accelerating the aging of the paper insulation and thus reducing the life expectance of the asset.
Knowing the water content therefore allows to assess the aging status of assets. By measuring the
dielectric response of the equipment in a wide frequency range, DIRANA determines the moisture
content. To save time, DIRANA combines frequency domain spectroscopy (FDS) and advanced time
domain spectroscopy (PDC+).
DIRANA can also be used as an universal dielectric analyzer für all kind of asset insulations, for
example, for bushings and rotating machines.
3.1 Frequency domain spectroscopy

By using the frequency domain spectroscopy (FDS), the dissipation factor of the insulation system under
test is measured by frequency sweep. The FDS allows fast measurements at high frequencies but
requires long measurement times at lower frequencies.
3.2 Advanced time domain spectroscopy (PDC+)

The advanced time domain spectroscopy (PDC+) uses the principles of the PDC measurement which
applies a DC voltage to the insulation and measures the response current. The result (current over time)
is mathematically transferred to the frequency domain so that the result can be presented, for example,
as power factor/dissipation factor over frequency. PDC+ is applicable for frequencies lower than 0.1 Hz
and is significantly faster than frequency domain measurements.
12 OMICRON
Introduction
3.3 Designated use

DIRANA is a dielectric response analyzer for the insulation diagnosis. The underlying concept –
combined FDS and PDC+ methods – makes DIRANA an intelligent, fast, and powerful solution for the
insulation diagnosis of high-voltage assets in the power industry such as power transformers, rotating
machines, and cables.
DIRANA combines the FDS and PDC+ measurements to get the advantages of both methods. At high
frequencies, the dielectric response is measured with the FDS while at low frequencies, the results
obtained by measuring the polarization current are transformed into the frequency domain and the
dielectric response is calculated. This unique concept facilitates the dielectric response measurements
within a wide frequency range. By comparing the dielectric response with model curves, DIRANA
provides an indication of the insulation condition such as:
• Moisture content in the oil/paper insulation
• Condition of OIP, RBP, and RIP high-voltage bushings
• Condition of the generator, motor, and cable insulation
DIRANA is controlled by Primary Test Manager running on a computer connected to DIRANA by USB
interface. Primary Test Manager combines seamlessly the FDS and PDC+ methods and merges the
results, allowing you to work only in the frequency domain. DIRANA provides two measurement
channels for faster measurements. Primary Test Manager provides an automatic procedure for the
moisture content analysis of the power transformer insulation based on fitting the measurement results
with a collection of model curves which are adapted to fit the measured asset.

12.1.5 Moisture analysis

Primary Test Manager provides an automated procedure for the moisture content analysis of the
cellulose (pressboard and paper) of the power transformer insulation. A manual adjustment of single
parameters is usually not required and should only be performed by experienced users. The moisture
analysis is based on fitting the measured dielectric response by model curves of the transformer
insulation system available in Primary Test Manager. For the insulation diagnosis of other high-voltage
assets, see 12.1.6 "Comparison" on page 95. The moisture analysis requires only the insulation
temperature to be known. Primary Test Manager calculates all values for the best fit. Consequently, the
automated fitting procedure finds out any of the insulation parameters, even if none is known.
To enter the moisture analysis:
1. In the Measurements area, click the Moisture analysis tab.
2. From the Selected measurement list, select the measurement for which you want to perform the
moisture analysis.
